When I used to play clone wars adventures I thought it was so cool that when I bought star wars action figures (which I already liked) I got in game currency. People may think that is stupid and should never be used, but it was a win win for me. If devs only attatched dlc to things that their target audience would already by (like the star was thing previously mentioned). It would also be cool if you didn't get dlc but just in game skins or colors for buying things many would buy on thier own. Like the green and black crystal for swtor merch.

DLC is fine, but it should add to a complete game. Capcom and EA are examples of companies abusing the fans of the games they're involved with, but there are companies who have it down right. For example, the new Tekken Tag game has had DLC announced but has been confirmed to be FREE.

I think Game Developers should just stop with DLC. It's being abused way to much. It was originally made to expand a game. Now it's just being used to unlock things that are already on a disc. If companies really wanted to use DLC properly then there shouldn't be any day one DLC. Why? Because if you work on a game and have already made DLC for the first day then that means you originally intended to make it a part of the over all experience. Meaning that you are locking away content that would have been put into the game 6 years ago. It just doesn't make sense to DLC at all unless you want to make more money off a game that probably doesn't deserve more content then it originally had.

Halo Reach legendary edition is a prime example. Some people waned it for the flaming helmet but had to spend so much money on this box that comes with all merch and statues

Simple answer to this....if you want DLC....get the DLC...if you don't...then don't...you're not forced to...same with games...if you don't want the game don't buy it.

Now that they finished talking about DLC now they need to talk about dlc (disk locked content). This is getting annoying. I know companies have to make money but this way isn't right. Hell capcom just dropped a full two letter grades in the rating system of the better business bureau. I bet EA is next and a bunch of other companies as well that do the disk locked content. http://www.gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=175395. I dont mind DLC I buy it to support a game I like and I enjoy the extra content. Granted I hate when that content is already made and on the disk and I have to pay 20 or more dollars for it on top of the 60 I already paid for a game.
